afforded by Electric Bitters. Sold at fifty oents

1t is said that Ex-GOv. Smith of the
Central Vermont railroad has "seen"
the elegant solid train of Canadian Pa
cific cars which runs from Montreal to
Boston over the Passumpsic road each
day and has gone one better, by order
ing of the Pullman car company a
train of cars which, when completed,
will make this Canadian Pacific train
look like a lot of emigrant cars. 1t is
unnecessary to add that the Central
Vermont and the Passumpsic and Ca
madam Pacific are competing lines be-
tween Montreal and Boston.

A New Street Laid Out.

A New Street Laid Out.
The selectmen have changed Water
street i'm Fairbanks village by laying
out a new street which will start in
near the gas hOnse and come out
near the custom blacksmith shop, OPP
posite the scale fOundery. This will
necessitate pulling down the brick
dwelling house just below the new ma
chine shop and the removal of the
blacksmith shop. This change of
street is desired because of the prox-
unity of the present street to the scale
works and the side-t track which is SO
often occupied by cars, locomotives and
other things which terrify immature
horses and make the street a danger
GUS one to drive upon. When the new
street is opened it will be sufficiently
exciting for skitish horses or nervous
and careless people to use.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the E. & T. Fairbanks &

in st. Johnsbury about the middle of
September. A meeting of some of the
stockholders was held in Boston last
week. This meeting has given rise to
more or less talk and rumors, but it
would be we'll for those interested to
withhold Judgment until the annual
meeting when it is believed satisfac-
tory reports will he made by the man
ayers of the business. For IL years this
stock has paid dividend averaging
2 per cent. per annum, and today the
is doing a larger business
than for years.

A pair of draft horses hauled load
of granite up the long hill from the de-
pot to Main street on Monday which
weighed 7I2O pounds, or over three
and half tons. 1t is splendid pair
of horses and more is the shame for
overlooking it. The load was plenty
heavy enough for two, even on a road
with much less hill. The driver who
wants his team to do well never over
loads or overdrives it.

not yet altogether past usefulness en-

our statement of "What can be done

weeks issue. He claims that the case
is good deal more hopeful even than
we represented, and that there is a
better opportunity for working far
mer to succeed here today than there
was so years ago, when, it seems to be
generally assumed, the Vermont far
mers all did well. In those days hay
